in the country, in Machelen
version in original Flemish (citaat van Roger Raveel, in het Vlaams): De stad biedt ongemene voordelen, accoord. Maar ik vind dat ze niet opwegen tegen de directe, onvervalste inspiratie van het natuurlijke leven dat ik hier [in Machelen] vindt.
Quote of Raveel, in an interview with Hugo Claus, published in the Flemish magazine 'Vooruit' in 1957 (translation: Fons Heijnsbroek)
Raveel lived his entire life in the Flemish village of Machelen, on the river De Leie

Context: Humanity is moving ever deeper into a crisis which has no precedent. It is a crisis brought about by evolution being intent on completely integrating differently colored, differently cultured, and intercommunicating humanity, and by evolution being intent on making integrated humanity able to live sustainedly at a higher standard of living for all than has ever been experienced by any. Probably ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to make it; we do. It can only be accomplished, however, through a Design Science Revolution.
Those in supreme power, politically and economically, aren’t yet convinced that our Planet Earth has anywhere nearly enough life support for all humanity.
They assume it has to be either you or me, that there is not enough for both. Those with financial advantage reason that selfishness is necessary and fortify themselves even further.

“Balanced reciprocity is as much a social compact as it is an economic advantage.”
Man's Rise to Civilization (1968)
Context: Balanced reciprocity is as much a social compact as it is an economic advantage. It is particularly important in hunting-gathering societies, where no individual could possibly accumulate a surplus, live independently of other members of the band, or become so successful in the quest for food as never to need meat from someone else's kill.<!-- p. 44
